Untreated Health problems can lead to serious complications if men delay seeking treatment. The longer the initial symptoms are left untreated the worse the problem becomes. Most men tend to delay seeing a doctor until it is too late for effective treatment of their condition.
The need to make frequent trips to the bathroom during the night is often one of the first indications of a decline in health of the prostate. For most men, this inconvenience is often made worse by the need to push or strain while urinating. Urination can cause pain or a burning feeling for some men.
Most men over 60 experience some or all of these symptoms but have no idea what causes them. These symptoms are typically a result of an enlarged prostate which is one of the most common issues affecting older men. In fact, 60 percent of men older than 60 and up to 80 percent of men older than 80 have an enlarged prostate.
An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is not the end of the world. It is not a type of prostate cancer, nor does it cause prostate cancer. However, as many men would be aware, it can cause considerable discomfort, inconvenience and awkwardness. BPH symptoms differ depending on the severity of the condition. The most common symptoms include:
- Waking up at night to urinate
- A Frequent need to urinate (sometimes every two hours or less)
- Pain or burning sensation during urination
- Frequent, sudden or uncontrollable urge to urinate
- Pushing or straining to start urination
- Feeling like the bladder does not empty completely during urination
- Dribbling following urination
As a man ages, the chances of developing BPH increase. This is because of growth patterns associated with the prostate. After a man turns 40 the prostate tends to expand due factors involved with aging.
The prostate is a gland located just below the bladder whose main function is to produce fluid for semen. Once men experience problems with their prostate they become aware of it. Expansion in the size of the prostate can act like a clamp on a garden hose to restrict the flow of urine in the urethra. As pressure builds up and the “clamp” tightens, the result can be some of the more commonly noticed BPH symptoms.
Although there is currently no known cure for BPH, there are drugs and procedures available to reduce the symptoms. These can include a wide range of prescription medications as well as surgical procedures that can quickly bring relief.
